This is an OEM Febi Upper Idler Pulley, also known as the roller pulley or deflection pulley. The upper and lower idler pulleys are known to be the primary sources for 'belt squealing'. The pulley is also encased in rubber which will crack over time. If left without service the rubber could fail completely, chucking the belt and leaving you stranded. Replacement is a very simple procedure and can be done anytime the fan is off the engine (belt replacement, water pump service, alternator replacement, etc).

Most of the pulleys on your BMW engine are plastic, which become brittle and frail over time and from engine bay heat. A failed pulley could leave you stranded which is why it is vital to inspect the pulleys during routine maintenance. This is an aluminum version of the stock power steering pulley used on M52, M52tu, and M54 engines. It's the same size and uses the same hardware and the original belt as the stock plastic pulley. But the aluminum will last much longer.
With more than 4,000 European vehicle replacement parts, URO is no stranger to the market. Superior metal stock and extremely strict quality control are at the forefront of URO’s agenda and it shows as they become the OE supplier for more and more car companies every single day.
